jobs as large mult inationals continue to throw american workers out on the street and move to china, mexico, and other countries where workers are paid pennies an hour. in 2008, i supported then-senator barack obama when he told the afl-cio in philadelphia the following: "what i refuse to accept is that we have to sign trade deals like the south korea agreement that are bad for american workers, but i oppose and what i've always opposed are trade deals that put the interests of mult inational corporation ahead of the interests of american workers like nafta and cafta and permanent normal trade relations with china and i also oppose the colombia free trade agreement if president bush insists on sending it to congress because it would make a mockery of the very labor pproximatelies this we have sinced be included in these kinds of agreements. so you can trust me when i say that whatever trade deals we negotiate whe whim president wie good for american workers and they'll have strong labor and environmental protections that we'll enforce." end of quote, president obama, candidate for president

whole range of energy issues, but also designing a cap to plug a hole in the middle of the gulf of mexico when nobody else could figure it out, and that's typical of the incredible contributions he's made to this country. this country's further along on the path to energy independence, it's better positioned for the jobs and industries of the future. so, steve, you have earned more than your fair share of relaxation time, but we are grateful for your extraordinary service. [applause] so thank you. now, this is the most collection of brain power we've had under this roof in a long time. [laughter] maybe since the last time we gave out these the medals -- these medals. i have no way to prove that, and i know this crowd likes proof. [laughter] but i can't imagine too many people competing with those who we honor here today. you know, there's one idea that sets this country apart, one idea that makes us different from every other nation on earth; that here in america success does not depend on where you were born or what your last name is, successing depends on the ideas that you can dream up
